Glucose Monitors Trending Among Non-Diabetics
Many individuals without diabetes are wearing glucose monitors to aid in weight loss and enhance athletic performance.
Athletes and influencers have been spotted wearing glucose monitors, sparking curiosity about the benefits of this trend.
“There could be a lot of reasons behind the uptick in continuous glucose monitor (CGM) usage among people without diabetes,”
says Carolyn Thiede, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist at Aurora Health Care.
Thiede attributes this trend to the increased use of CGM devices among people with diabetes, availability of non-prescription CGM options, and social media attention to health metric tracking.
CGMs continually monitor blood sugar levels through a sensor on the arm, transmitting data to a phone or receiver device.
